Description
System is intended for use with a modular board set based on Pentium III
Xeon processor technology; from one to eight 500 MHz processors and up
to 8 GB of memory.
System I/O board supports up to 8 add-in boards (seven PCI boards,
including four slots supporting 64-bit PCI boards, and one ISA board slot.
The Hot Plug PCI* board plugs into the System I/O board, supporting up to
four Hot Plug 32-bit PCI board slots.
3 1/2-inch diskette drive is externally accessible.
One externally accessible 3 1/2-inch half-height bay is available for server
expansion.
5 1/4-inch CD-ROM drive is externally accessible.
Three externally accessible 5 1/4-inch half-height bays are available for
server expansion (diskette, CD-ROM, and/or tape drives).
Three hard disk drive cages; each holding up to four 3 1/2-inch hot-
swappable Ultra2-wide SCSI-2 hard drives. Each cage is secured behind a
metal EMI door; drives can be swapped in or out of the system without
powering it down. The array of drives allows easy setup of RAID
applications.
A hot swap-capable backplane is part of each drive cage assembly for SCSI
hard drives. The backplane is designed for Ultra2-wide SCSI-2 devices that
use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attach (SCA) connector.
The backplane consists of a row of four drive connectors.
Four 560-Watt autoranging power supplies are easily removed/installed for
service. The fourth supply is redundant.
BIOS Setup and Symbios Configuration Utility. The E
ROM contains the setup utilities and drivers. The ESMPRO CD-ROM
contains the server management software.
Mechanical: Key lock at the front door. One intrusion sensor for front door to
secure diskette, hard disk, removable media device, power on/off switch,
reset switch, top cover, and left/right panel access. Three power inter-lock
sensors one on each side of the chassis and one on top of the chassis.
BIOS: Password enable.
